Hello fellow foamers;
As you know it is take a long time for compiling OpenFOAM from source. To save the time in compiling and configuring , then actually learning about it , I precompiled OpenFOAM with Paraview 4.2.0 installation for Ubuntu and created a script to install it on your Ubuntu Machine , (tested with Kubuntu 14.04)
Following are the steps you need to follow
1.Extract OpenFOAM.tar.gz
2.Type in terminal
Report any error in comment section.I will be making monthly build from OpenFOAM git repo
PS:I have built OpenFOAM from latest git repository and paraview 4.2.0 with python support .I have also installed OpenFOAM in my system dir /opt/OpenFOAM no error and it worked fine.
The Installation has been update please refer the next post

HI, I had previously tried the standard installation instruction for Ubuntu 14.04 on my Mint 17 installation (based on Ubuntu 14.04). That failed because it couldn't find the opengl_include_dir, even though opengl was installed and working. I deleted the libraries created by that installation and tried your one, but when I do of230, it just doesn't do anything - no error message either. What might be going wrong?
ReplyDeleteTried it both with Ubuntu 14.04 and Kubuntu. Like Mike said; no response after typing of230
ReplyDeletedid you try icoFoam -help
ReplyDeleteand if you get normal screen , with usage screen then your installation works
try reading openfoam user guide for how to use go about openfoam
You're right Saahil. Thanks. I should have read the manual..
ReplyDeleteIf you need any help while using OpenFOAM feel free to contact me ; also you can post your query on cfd-online.com
DeleteI installed it in /opt/OpenFOAM and restarted console. After typing of230 i get:

During installation when he asked me for install dir I pressed enter. (previously typing other directories didnt help)
What can be wrong?
maybe I should uninstall it somehow? (but Im new to ubuntu and dont know how...)
